May Favourites 2016

Just like every month this year, its flown past and has been amazing! The highlight of the month was definitely the last week, me and my boyfriend just chilled in a city near us, Cardiff. Went shopping, a few hauls will be on here as a post, soon!! But it was amazing, and I had a lovely time just chilling out. However, obviously I am going to share some things which I have discovered this month and/or I have just plain and simple just fallen in love with!!



Coconut nail polishes Barry M - I can't remember if I got these at the end of last month or this month. But I really like them, you don't need a base coat and then are supposed to have coconut oils and good things in to protect your nails. Which is amazing for me, because my nails are so awful. They have gorgeous shades too, I have one pink called alhoa and a nude one called tiki hut. Gorgeous colours for summer!



Clinique Anti-Blemish Gel - Yet again my skin has been playing up. I seem to say this every month now, I don't know what is happening! But I don't like it. I really like Clinique as a brand, I think they are just very good at getting results. They are fragranced free and just very dermatologic, this Anti-Blemish Gel is very good too, you just apply it to the areas you need or all over your face and it basically helps to get rid of any spots and blemishes.


Rimmel White Eyeliner - I think I go through phases with wearing white eyeliner in my waterline. Last July I wrote a post, and included them http://goo.gl/32gizt. But I have been wearing white eyeliner in my waterline pretty much everyday this month. It brightens the eyes  and also makes you look like you've had lots of sleep, plus it does make them appear larger. 


No7 Stay Perfect Foundation - I have been wearing this as my everyday foundation this month. But I have been coming out of it at the end of the month, because it is a very pale shade and I am pale naturally but I have been loving a fake tan too - you wait and see! The foundation is a demi-matte finish, so its not really dewy but its not a flat matte, it gives a medium coverage but you can build it up. I have the shade 'calico' which is the lightest shade. But I do really rate No7, especially as they can colour match you and find the right foundation for you.



NYX Soft Matte Lip - Cannes - I have been wearing this lipstick every day this month, its amazing. Its not nude but its not too bright. It's prefect for in the day, and it just gorgeous. It's matte and very long lasting. It reminds me of a 'your lips but better' shade, oh dear I went there. I want some more colours of these, I can't wait to check a NYX stand out (available online and at Boots). I ordered this one online, but it's hard to see the colours, so I did go on a bit of a whim with this shade.


St. Tropez Tan - Everyone I know has literally been raving about this tan for ageeees! So this month I actually picked one up, and I have fallen in love. It's the best tan I have ever used, seriously amazing. You apply the guide colour and you can either leave it on for 1 hour (light) 2 hours (medium) or 3 hours (dark). I have been doing about 2 and a half hours. It gives a gorgeous colour, and wears really lovely, it doesn't do that patchy thing where it just comes off some places and not others. Also, no need to sleep in the tan and get it all over your white sheets - amazing!



My favourite, favourite of the month, that I briefly mentioned at the start... Me and my boyfriend, went away to Cardiff for the bank holiday weekend at the end of May. We had been together for 3 years, so we wanted to do something special. We just went shopping, had cocktails, chilled, went to the beach and ate out a lot!!! I would say the day we went to the beach, was my favourite day of the year so far!
